Ron Boots – Current

“Current,” by Ron Boots is a dense ambient soundscape of epic proportions. Ron synthesizes the entire album. On “Ambiguity,” a tribal rhythmic pulse drives the synth riffs and washes. The tribal rhythms are created on the drum machine. There are no ethnic instruments credited. That is a great juxtaposition – or joke – from Ron. He drives his electronica with a simple Native American rhythm. Touche, Ron. The rest of the album is peppered with natural and electronic ambience. This is a highlight of Ron’s long and illustrious career.
